[Verse]
D# A# G# C#
Every time I find myself in this old bind
D#m7 D#m/B D#
Watching the death of my hopes.
D# A# G# C#
In the ring so long gonna prove them wrong
D#m7 D#m/B D#
I'm not knocked out, but I'm on the ropes.

Cm D#
I've got enough fight left inside this tired heart
G# Gm Fm
To win this one and walk out on my feet,
A#
No retreat.
[Verse]
D# A# G# C#
I may never get, everything I bet
D#m7 D#m/B D#
But I'm a man who always copes

I'm hurting bad and fighting mad
D#m7 D#m/B D#
I'm not knocked out, but I'm on the ropes.
[Chorus]

Everything that I hold near and dear to me

Is riding on this moment here and now,
A#
I know how.
